Icon2 1991 accord f22a4 wont fire:( Noobie in distress!

I drove my 91 accord to another city about an hour and a half drive and didnt see any signs of an over heat or have any issues while on the highway. Right as i exited the highway (with little gas but light wasnt on yet) the car started running rough with low power it seemed to be missing. I gased up and popped the hood and like a dumb a** I started pulling plug wires one at a time to see which cylinder was missing, it was the third from the passenger side left, the wire itself was pretty bad it wouldnt "click" back on the spark head so i pulled the plug right there (wit the motor off lol) and the top was oily from oil outside the plug (the plug was also less than hand tight) anyways i got the plug back in and started it but it was still really rough no change, about 2 mintes later it completely cut off and only cranks over. the oil was a bit low, and the plug and wire were oily, but i think it was from the loose plug. I checked spark from the wires to a grounded piece of metal and they arent sparking i think i smell plenty of fuel but i was at a gas station. im towing the car home tomorrow so ill be able to run out and check any suggestions. Any suggestions are welcome im sure you all know alot more than me. personally i think its the distributor (looks orignial with 270 thousand miles) please help

could be a blown ignition/ ecu fuse .. check those. also could be the crank or cam sensor or the ignition control module . that's inside the dist the ignition pak could have went bad its self

go to autozone and get a valve cover seal set and that will stop the leaking of oil mine did the same i did that and it stoped.
wat happened with mine is that that oil would build up and have the spark plug wire saprate from the spark plug witch leads to it not make the spark aka no fireing haha
good luck
